Every time I talk to one of those funny talking Yankees, they just burst out laughing at me. Don't know what they have to laugh about, they're the ones that can't speak correctly. Besides, it's just so rude!

Dwight Yoakam is one of my favorite country music artists.

Chris Knight can get a little "dark" with his killing songs, but man, he's good. He is a bit of a character too, been known to leave the stage to go talk to some loud and rowdies, explaining they can be quiet and listen or leave. I think he was overheard to say "you shut the ******* up or I'll go Jamzwayne on you!" They got quiet.

No sleeveless flannel shirt, no camo hat, and most importantly, NO ACCENT. I think he is really funny, but it kinda ruins it knowing that it's all an act.

Been a while since I went there, but this place has an excellent set up for tractor pulls. If you happen to be in the area.

I went to Las Vegas in June and got laughed at by a few people. I don't notice it myself, but everyone else sure does.
And generally, the higher my blood alcohol level goes, the thicker my accent gets. LOL

I was even slowing down almost to a slur and announciating for you.
That was the only difference that I noticed was the slower speed and you used more consonants.

Damn! I'd like to have that engine in my lawn mower!

Damn, thats expensive!!!
